Excellent. Are you privy to any approximate timelines?

Wait, what... The Keg is moving in there?!

Shhhh….

So just to confirm as it's hard to tell in the renders. But there will be a single story brick faced building in front of the parkade? Along St. Mary next to the parkade entrance?

i LOVE the existing Keg location downtown, I sure hope they not moving

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Although I wouldn't worry about someone else moving in there if The Keg vacates, it's a pretty desirable spot for a restaurant.

I concur.
The Keg location now is well located. Nice surroundings, well treed patio.
I envision more of a popular local place likely expanding from some other smaller location here.
1/2 block to Broadway, 2 blocks to Main, 3.5 to Portage Avenue, 3 to the Forks

I see why they are doing this move.
My guess is with CHOP opening up whenever Sutton Place Hotel opens, this keeps them fresh & current.529 is opening @ P & M albeit smaller and limited menu spring 2023, Hy's is nearby as is the new Earl's @ Winnipeg Square. Bailey's is near there as is Velvet Glove.
I prefer the Downtown Keg location of the 3 in the city but this brings them likely a better layout & closer to the competition.
The Garry St location has a great history.
.Hudson’s Bay Company Garage @ 115 Garry Street, was built 1911 & is a municipally-designed historic building since 2019.

Isnt the developer of this building the franchise owner of The Keg in Winnipeg?

the ground floor of the parkade is set back to create a covered patio for a potential restaurant tenant.

The high archway kicks ass

can you tell us what that sign protruding from the building says? Is it "The ***"?

Yes

Not to be negative because this does seem to be an excellent development for downtown, but what exactly is it about this project that has everyone salivating so much in comparison to other buildings? Just looks like a fairly plain, boring looking 14 story brick building to me. Everyone seems to be more over the moon with this project vs anything else

Design quality is superior, it also fills a surface parking lot. It's a win win.
